Our Founder/Director/Mentor

Teaching is Isabel’s calling. While raising two children, she attained her Early Childhood Education qualification and brought her vision of Little Woods Montessori to life.

Isabel’s 30 years of experience in both the Singapore and International School systems enables Montessori principles to be applied in a wider context of society. As such, the children's possibilities for learning and development are vast and encompassing.

As Director and Mentor, Isabel continues to oversee the curriculum and direction of the school. Her passion for song & dance inspires Little Woods’ staff and children to showcase their talents in outstanding performances at the Annual Little Woods Concerts.
